It’s December 1st and I can officially write about holiday shopping and Christmas trees without feeling like it’s treading on my turkey. Call me old fashioned, but I like my holidays one at a time. If you’ve known me for a long time, you know that I actually never liked to celebrate holidays. As an only child who isn’t close to her family I just had to need to. In… Keep Reading
It’s holiday season and, and just in time to start planning the MomTrends Annual Holiday Soiree shared all their top picks for gifts and products to throw your best holiday party yet. Nicole Feliciano and her team here in NYC turned a blank space into a winter wonderland starting with POM Wonderful cocktails on our way to mingle.

This post was sponsored by Asurion as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. We’ve all been there. You get that dreaded pop-up that says you’re out of room on your phone. Every. Single. Time you go to catch the cutest photo of your kids doing something that no other kid can ever do, right? Short of saying F it and running to the Apple store to get a… Keep Reading
Ahhh, football season. Is there any better way to enjoy carbs and friends at the same time? Yes, we definitely try to be healthy here but sometimes, well, tailgates and football aren’t exactly, er, easy on the waistline. And that’s okay, just like the Steelers, you can’t always have a perfect season. Since I was at the Steelers/Raiders game last week in Pittsburgh (and the game was literally a nail… Keep Reading
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #VivaLaMorena#CollectiveBias Now that Max is getting older and likes to help out with things (and basically is smarter than me and understands everything), I felt it was important to include him in traditions, and start our own. Since he’s part Guatemalan, part Uruguayan, part White Girl American (lol – I knew know what… Keep Reading
I’ve referred to it before as “the itch.” That feeling you get that just keeps nagging you, and Benadryl cream can’t help. Maybe it’s just my country roots, but there just comes a time in every New Yorker’s life when they have to escape the damn city. I have been here six years now, and I love the concrete jungle and all it’s less than perfect moments (such as someone… Keep Reading
In preparation for my trip to Pittsburgh next week and attending my annual Steelers game right at home at Heinz Field, I’ve been trying to prep for tailgating by testing out some new recipes and finger foods at home. Listen, we take tailgating serious in Pittsburgh, and you can never just “wing it.” When there are flat screens, hired DJs spinning and real chefs tossing up steaks and burgers on the… Keep Reading
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for KitchenIQ. I received promotional items to thank me for my participation. What good is food if you can’t enjoy it with someone? Just like they say if a tree falls in the woods with no one around does it make a sound? Well, I say, if no one is around to enjoy a homemade baked cookie, does it… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. The other day I had a conversation with a fellow NYC mom about how there isn’t a lot of talk about the chemicals in the clothing we buy, but everything we put on is made and soaked in really bad stuff. Do you even wash it before you… Keep Reading
After you run a half marathon and the runner’s high is long gone and the glory of the medal seems to just hang in your bedroom’s back wall, I wondered, “how am I going to keep myself in check and in shape throughout the winter?” Let’s be honest – winter is hard. There are lots of carbs to be eaten, darkness and SAD set in fast, and it’s not easy… Keep Reading
